Jones, last year's Outland Trophy winner, and Warmack, a potential first-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, have barely missed a snap since the 2010 season. Jones, the Crimson Tide's new center who has previously started at tackle and guard, has been a regular starter since 2009.

That wasn't the only recognition for the Alabama offensive line, as right tackle D.J. Fluker was named to SI's second team.

Alabama was one of six teams to have multiple players named to the first team. LSU led the way with five representatives, as Tyrann Mathieu made the team as both a cornerback and a return man.

Perhaps the most intriguing part about SI's two teams? No Alabama defensive player was included.

Five SEC players, three of whom hail from LSU, made the first-team defense. Mississippi State cornerback Johnthan Banks was included on the second team.

Alabama put two players (linebacker Nico Johnson and safety Robert Lester) on the preseason all-SEC first team and four more (Jesse Williams, Damion Square, C.J. Mosley and Dee Milliner) on the all-SEC second team.
